Sending our sincerest sympathy to Denise and family, and Jimmy and family. We lost a dear friend when Ed passed. Will miss the phone calls and our visit to see Ed when we were there at the Cape in the summer. Lorraine and Ed are together again. We are sure Lorraine has plenty to say to him. Love you all

Dad You were brave and fought hard till the very end. A true Irishman who made us all so proud. Now it's time to turn the page and start a new chapter of your life. I see it opens with a man at rest, preparing for his heavenly journey with friends and relatives. - That does not sound so bad my friend and know it will be magical. As you write the next pages, remember you are missed but not forgotten. For you forever remain our provider and guardian. Your loving son Jim Twomey 72 Sunset Rock Rd North Andover Ma
